Please know we are constantly thinking of you and praying for you and your family. My cousin has lost both of her babies, her baby girl to SIDS and her little boy to cancer...<br /><br />This is from another DIPG mama.....I must share! "I was listening to a sermon this morning about the little girl who died in the bible. Jesus took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!") And immediately she woke up and was healed. It was not this that struck me. But what the preacher said next. He said to all those parents who have lost a child and prayed to Jesus... yet your child died. You may ask why? Why did Jesus not heal your child as well? As it was explained, in this bible story Jesus had compassion on the parents. But in stories like mine, when a parent's child dies ... Jesus had compassion on our children. Heaven is the ultimate goal." Thank you Janna for shaing this!!!!Denise Smitherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122353011452293907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208480314672240865.post-49284882361745348062012-02-21T14:03:55.673-05:002012-02-21T14:03:55.673-05:00Stephanie- My name is Tracy Galloway and I was re...Stephanie- My name is Tracy Galloway and I was referred to you site by Anita. My daughter has NF2 and she is 19. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this with your girl at such a young age....I get every and understand every word that you have written, and no, you are not being negative. Acceptance is freeing..I wish there was something I could do to be supportive. I am on the board of CTF and I also am constantly meeting with researchers, etc. trying to find treatments that offer our children a better quality of life. God bless Stephanie. Please try to find a moment here or there for yourself....take care...best- TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756615444622280975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208480314672240865.post-91640409073040127012012-02-21T10:43:09.309-05:002012-02-21T10:43:09.309-05:00That's just beautiful, Stephanie.

I see that little smile once and I'm completely taken with her....I can only imagine how wonderful it is to get to see it more often. It's worth it...the fight...Storaloppanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162542951417469191noreply@blogger.com
